What a great guy explaining a tricky thing in a simple way. A+.

[@midnightrun7]

Excellent, There are parts replacers and mechanics, you are a true mechanic. A+

[@urgentcareguy3]

I have a great deal of respect for your knowledge base and even more for sharing your experience with others. A++++ : )

[@AngieMusicArt]

This guy is Genius! I fixed a power steering leak by a simple o-ring change! Great advice thank you 😊!!

[@greensparks415]

WOW YOU DID THAT BYE YOURSELF CONGRATS

[@mobilemechmantim773]

The tool he is using is called a Power Probe. It looks like the Power Probe III. It has a voltage display, but it is not a multimeter. It is a great tool and there are videos on youtube that detail it's operation.

[@BosisofSweden]

Ingenious and simple! Great!

[@miguelasantiago9543]

Sir, You really make many people's lives easier and happier with your video.Thank You so much and God bless You! Miguel, Puerto Rico

[@johndoe-lx5bd]

Thank you for very clear well spoken and right to the point information VIDEO. Job well done.

[@1armedmotorider]

I love smart people with creative brains.

[@AndersonWilliamsk29]

I found that wiring videos I watched were very helpful because it made me think to look in other places for my taillights problems.

[@stuzman52]

Without knowing the details of the relay or without a wiring diagram, you won't. But just for your info most of the relays out there use a DIN standard numbering system. For example, for a 5-pin ISO relay which is very common, pins 86 and 85 are for the coil (86 is + and 85 is -), 30 is the common, 87 is the NO contact and 87a is the NC contact. You could use a voltmeter and observe your readings, but without a diagram you wouldn't know their function.

[@Jandaoe]

U are.. so simple and easy at explaining things.. wicked!

[@bondys123]

I love little tricks of the trade like this knowledge is built up in many years very very good

[@MythTracker]

Thanks for sharing that tip, Its helpful when technicians share knowledge, not only do you help better others, but you become much better person, and teacher. Not to mention the prospects of being a you-tube star ;)

[@realfixesrealfast]

Thank you for your kind comments, you have brightened my day

[@miscomposiciones5752]

Sounds real simple, thanks I will try it,,,

[@ronaldlehmann6935]

Very good information- learned something new -Thank You

[@kamaljitsinghattalia]

So so well explained Thank you Very much

[@MM-sb1gd]

Someone commented to me that this does not test the relay itself, but only indicates that the receptacle that the relay pins plug into is getting voltage, because the wire that you're touching with the probe is carrying current from that female receptacle, which would allow the current to travel to your probe, just the same as if the relay weren't there at all, and the wires were stuck down into the receptacles. If this is a mistaken conclusion, would you please explain how that is so.

[@ismaeldossantos3296]

I always test the relay with a battery, listen to the click sound and remove the cover to inspect contact points and for signs of rust and corrosion

[@TheMcs33]

I was waiting for somebody to use the power probe 3 two tests relays thank you

[@markueen]

great video, Im going to try it on my Benzy. thanks !!!

[@namentatic4978]

You are a creative guy. Thanks for sharing your idea.

[@KazooK-gx2sv]

Nice. I think it will be helpful when i'll be able to locate the relay box somewhere in my Peugeot. A 2004 Peugeot, by the way.

[@handymanprojects5637]

I've got issues going on and I can't be sure relays ain't the problem. So I'll put this to use. Thanks

[@Wildcat5181]

Simple relays have a field positive, field negative and power to load. Jack Morgan, if you want to repair your own car, buy some tools instead of being derrogatory. What he is using is called a Power Probe. You need one to test for continuity, power, ground and to power a circuit. You need a multimeter to do many other tests, but you need to spend a few bucks. The multimeter is the least expensive, but can get up there in price for pro user models or for long term dependabliity.

[@terrellwright7565]

Thank You for that awesome bit of knowledge!

I like that kind of continuity tester, what brand and model is it?

[@davidortiz4903]

Wow,thats experience.... Nice video👍👍

cool idea and great presentation, i say 5 stars good friend

[@mikejohnson2750]

I never would have thought to do this in a million years. I think I'm going to take a patent out on this! Smile.

[@sudarshans226]

excellent example.

[@johnkerr8019]

Simple but effective idea, Thank-you for uploading this video. If you have replaced bulbs on a headlight when the low beam is not working and you have changed the fuse and it's still not working and the fuse relay is good. Any ideas what the next check would be. Hello, from Glasgow

[@klhughes3294]

That is pretty freaking smart. Thank you

[@stuzman52]

Sounds like it's time for a wiring diagram. Check out alldata. The battery is what turns on the relay. Nope, the amperage from the battery isn't too high. The relay will only draw the amount of current it needs from the battery unless of course you wire it wrong and then you'll get a different story.

[@chadgardee1496]

Dewayne is a genius

[@tgmod]

@RobertNiez its a power probe, very usefull

[@stuzman52]

Sure why not! The light will light when you touch a point if it's receiving B+ because the test light is connected to ground. Or if you connect the test light to B+, then you'll see the light come on when you touch a B- point.

[@MrKhalio]

thanks for ur video,one of the best

[@abigailgeli]

i have one of that power probe . comouflage edition. very useful...as in very very useful..

[@dennisraybowenjr9205]

Thanks for the information....really. ....thanks

[@geo0859]

Very usefull. Thanks 👍

[@felplayvina]

great info but I do have ? when you test a relay, I know pin 30 have power all the time, but what about the fuses do they have to be with voltage?

[@stuzman52]

And what is checking ohms across a contact going to tell you? The contact can be pitted, burned and yet the ohmeter can pick up a tiny point of resistance and say its good. Push some current through the contact and it will fall on its face. You need to do a voltage drop test across the contact to know for sure of its condition.

[@andrewbarlow8937]

Brilliant

I have a 2002 Volvo S40 but I cannot find the fuel pump relay please help me find it.

[@johnpalma7265]

Thank you sir.

[@stuzman52]

I'm not sure what you're asking. "Fuses, do they have to be with voltage?" Fuses have voltages fed to them if that's what you're asking.

[@samrugtiv5563]

Very well done

[@Sierrebrarc]

I absolutely loved this video... until you left that probe blaring when the test was done. Maybe put a piece of electrical tape over the speaker for videos that include it. We'll still hear it, but it won't be as loud.

[@rman5033]

Great job God Bless

[@bivideo7]

The Powerprobe will show good continuity through as much as 15KΩ, and you can get a ground indication if you put your hand on the battery ground and stick the Powerprobe in your arm. It can't load the circuit, so if you see voltage, you have no idea if the voltage is useful.

[@nizar1000]

great video,, thanks

[@williamjver]

Thanks for your time

[@izzynutz2000]

Been there done that thank God I don't do it anymore...

[@jamesbarratt593]

Been doing that for power cables if no plug. Jam wires in socket and put plug on top. Never thought about using it for this though, so thanks. Now why is there three ground and one positive though? Was under impression low current passes through one side of relay creating magnetic force to put switch across enabling high current on other side to connect. Please answer me as new to this stuff.

[@signupisannoying]

Good idea, thanks :)

[@colorado1901]

mm get a wiring digram of your car from alldata,before you get in to deep volt metering will not hurt your circuts

[@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782]
